Abstract

A layer of amorphous Mo–Al alloy is formed by ion-assisted solid-state interdiffusion reaction of a Mo/Al bilayer. Xe ion irradiation at 200 °C enhances the long-range diffusion of the dominant moving species while the formation of equilibrium compounds remains inhibited. The idea of using the temperature-dependent ion mixing at intermediate temperatures to promote a solid-state amorphization reaction opens the possibility of growing an amorphous phase in a system where both compound formation and interdiffusion are difficult
